Your best eating places in Hua Hin
Re: Your best eating places in Hua Hin
How is it with popular eating places in Hua Hin which cater both to Thai`s and Foreigners and where you get lunch /dinner quickly made and priced less than Thb 100-, Its not the spend the whole evening places I look for but places where locals and expats can stop by when hungry and get a fill with clean and reasonable food.
Thanks

Re: Your best eating places in Hua Hin
Hua Hin still has plenty of places where you can pick up 40 baht dishes (fried rice with meat of choice, crispy pork and rice, pork leg and rice, chicken and rice, fried chicken and rice, stir fried pork/chicken with basil and rice, chicken and garlic with rice, pork and garlic with rice...)
You'll notice from the above that - anything that comes 'with rice' is cheap apart from an Indian. It's cheap food. Made to be cheap for people who eat cheaply.
A good steak and chips mind... gonna cost you a few hundred baht. Personally, I'm looking forward to trying 'Grace's American Burger's' 500 baht burger. The owner's a friend of mine and, ever since another member posted a pic of the burger in another thread, it's all that's been on my mind.
I spend anywhere from 500-1000 baht a day on food (when I'm able to)... sue me... I like good food. I'll have an Isaan dish thrown in the mix but I can't live 'Thai style', unfortunately.

Re: Your best eating places in Hua Hin
I knew I would be giving up many inexpensive things in the USA, but 500 baht for a burger? that is $13.87 USD for a burger?
i can and do go to Hamburger Hamlet in Beverly Hills California and pay about 30% less and sit next to Harrison Ford.
or get two double doubles at "in and out" burgers for about 250 which are far superior.
Too bad Thais don't know how to grow cows.

Bloody hell his stocks have gone down. Sure, movies aren't going to well for him recently, but charging people a couple of bucks so they can sit next to him and eat a burger...JamesWest wrote: i can and do go to Hamburger Hamlet in Beverly Hills California and pay about 30% less and sit next to Harrison Ford.

Lets go to .......
Restaurants with bars come and go, but everybody has a place they just keep going back to because it good, cheap and consistent maybe.
For expats and visitors alike there is a place they return to over and over
For me its mini farm
I would love to know
What is the place everybody goes to the most ?

Re: Your best eating places in Hua Hin
Just found a restaurant that I know has been there for a while. 'Coconuts' which is on the parallel road to 102. Not sure if it has a number but it's the same road as Dara's Bar and the lake. Went to eat there after floating our kratong on the lake. Was really surprised at the menu. All the steak is imported and very tender. I had lasagne which was also very good. The steak is better than a well known steak restaurant in Takiab (PJ's) and a whole lot cheaper. Pleasant and attentive staff. I'll definitely be back there.
Re: Your best eating places in Hua Hin
Surprised that you rate mini farm so highly. In the past I would agree but after a couple of disappointing meals have not been back. In fairness last time was couple of years ago. It used to have a nice ambience with the plants and flowers but they had gone and the last two times we were the only diners , the meals were unexciting bland and small portions. Still hungry drooped in at Kim's on way home for a sweet.
Still they may have improved again and if so great. Otherwise we all have different expectation and each to his own.

Hasn't mini farm closed down/changed hands? Their shop closed some time ago.

Re: Your best eating places in Hua Hin
As been said before, recommending places is a matter of taste. So called experts on food are only expressing their own taste and to me hold as much revelance as any other comment. Two places I go to when in Hua Hin are Mr Mon on 112 and I thinks it's called the Hut down Takiab, both are plastic table places and a lot of people walk past with noses turned up, not me.
